Inserting a special character via shortcut F2 shows not all available characters in 2.0
When trying to insert a special character I am now facing the problem that not all characters are available anymore.
They are replaced by little rectangles.
For instance, I used to insert a ½ sign via
1. select note
2. hit Crtl+T
3. hit F2
and then normally all available characters are there. Now a lot
of them are replaced by little rectangles. Amongst them that ½ .
Am I doing something wrong?

I do not quite understand what you mean.
It is strange that in an earlier session in the same score using 2.0, those characters were
available.
Well, I can use a 'workaround' by copying and pasting characters via Windows 7
character map, but in the past I did not have to do this.
Little update here:
Got an idea that it may have to do with the choosen font indeed as Shoichi perhaps
ment with 'local issue'. So I changed the font and alas, there appeared those characters again!
Problem solved.

For the record:
The first set of characters in the dialog - up to and including the space - are taken from the "musical text font" that is configured in style / general. The rest come from whatever font you are using for the text element you are inserting into.
